CLEARWATER -- Constantly under the watchful eyes of security, the media wasn't permitted to wander around inside Coachman Park to talk to Sarah Palin supporters. When reporters tried to leave the designated press area and head toward the bleachers where the crowd was seated, an escort would dart out of nowhere and confront him or her and say, "Can I help you?'' and turn the person around.
When one reporter asked an escort, who would not give her name, why the press wasn't allowed to mingle, she said that in the past, negative things had been written. The campaign wanted to avoid that possibility Monday.

So, the press can listen to Palin talk, but not ask any questions. I mean, if a woman that has a Journalism degree and is a governor can't even answer the question of 'what do you read', then she probably can't answer anything.
Now, we are to believe, her supporters can't be questioned either. That's going to make exit-polling very interesting next month.
